Summary
Los Angeles’ city attorney and controller races are exploding with drama, scandal, and high-stakes politics as incumbents face fierce challengers backed by powerful unions and progressive forces. Hydee Feldstein Soto defends her record on crime and accountability, but faces accusations of mismanagement, soaring legal costs, and deleted texts. Meanwhile, Kenneth Mejia holds off Zach Sokoloff with financial scrutiny claims, though the campaign has been rocked by bizarre attacks — including questions over corgi photos. Behind-the-scenes money flows and endorsements from the DA and police union are reshaping the landscape, turning these races into proxy battles for control of City Hall — with outcomes that could redefine L.A.’s future for years.
